. I l IMBROVED CURTAIN-FIXTURE.

The VSchedule' referred to in these Lettrs Patent and making part of the same.

The brackets C are screwed intothe sash, and extend out from the sash with two angles, as seen in To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J D.A AYERS, of EastGreeus- `borougl'i, in the county of Orleans, and State of.Ver `mont, have invented a new and useful Improvementin pivots e e'. y

A'hole through the Vbracket 'receives the pivot e, and a slot in the other bracket receives the pivot e', as inthe common cilrtain-xture.

The supporters D D are-screwed or otherwise fastfollowing is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, whichwill enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, frlning .part ofl this specification.

This invention relates to a new and useful improvementin the method of hanging window and other curtains, whereby they are rendered much more useful, and much less liable to get out of order thanwhen hung in the ordinary manner.

The invention consists in the novel construction of the supportingbrackets, and also in attaching thel hanging-brackets to the window-sash, as will be here,- inafter more fully described.

Figure l represents a front view of a window, 'provided with curtain-xtures according to my invention.

Figure 2 is a horizontal section, looking from the line a: :v of tig. 1. Y

Figure` is an edge View, showing thebracket projecting` from the window. y a

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding close the brackets.

They act as braces from beneath, for supporting the bracket, as it reaches outvfrom the sash,.over the casing A, as seen in the drawing.

T o the left-hand bracket, as seen in g. 2, there is a small spring, t', attached, whiehlis designed to bear upon th`e pivot e suiciently hard to retain the curtain in any desired position, by the friction thus produced.

By attaching the curtain to the sash, the sash may be lowered to any desired point, and the curtain drawn s0 as to cover all the lower portion of the window, and still not interfere with the proper ventilation of' the room.

ABy the use of the suppdrts D D, thebracket is retained in place at all times, and prevented from gettingloose, and thereby annoying housekeepers.
